My Hero Academia has a new OVA out. I enjoyed it a lot. I don't know if it's on Crunchyroll since I didn't watch it there, but if you can find it, I recommend checking it out.

It's free to play up to level 35. I don't know if you can switch to other classes and level them up to the cap too before getting a subscription. A word of warning. If you download the free trial, be aware that the steam version and regular PC version are mutually exclusive, meaning that if you make an account with the steam version and decide later you want to buy it, you can ONLY buy the steam version. Any sales or discounts from other sites or retailers, including Square-Enix itself, will NOT be compatible. If you want the non-steam version, which is compatible with every retailer except steam, download it from Square's site.

Vento Aureo has finally been colorized and retranslated in its entirety, meaning it can finally be read in English the way it should be.

As someone who reads the manga, rest assured that turning point you're looking for will come.

Who is your favorite student in class 1-A and why is it Tsuyu?

Almost forgot this one.

Why is anybody here acting like they'll actually be able to get their hands on one of these things? Everyone should know the drill by now. They'll all get snatched up by bots and scalpers and then instead of making more to meet the demand Nintendo will just stop making them altogether. Every. Fucking. Time.

That's debatable. There are people see such games as the western interpretation of the genre since adventure games back in the day were known primarily for their puzzles and these newer games prioritize narrative over puzzles. Still, whether you think it's a VN or an adventure game, my gripe remains unchanged. Walking around in a confusing environment trying to find a bottle is boring no matter what the genre is.

Life is Strange. This one was okay but I don't feel like it nearly lived up to the hype people were giving it. The engine it uses pales in comparison to others in the genre, even Telltale's. The lip syncing was really bad and sometimes their lips didn't move at all. I would be willing to look past that if the rest of it was better, but I didn't really think it was anything special. The time puzzles were the best part. Those were fun and I wish the whole game was about them, kind of like Ghost Trick or something. During the parts where you're expected to get by without them, the areas were often confusing to navigate and the objectives were tedious and not fun. I actually had to look up a walkthrough at one point just to figure out where I was supposed to walk to find a stupid bottle. That is ridiculous for a visual novel. I also thought the writing was uneven and inconsistent at times. And I hated probably half of the characters, especially Chloe. Like I said, it was okay but I doubt I'll ever play it again.

As much as I would like PC ports of the Persona series, I still find it unlikely even after reading that article for the reasons FLD explained.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga remake. Looks like they added a side campaign called Bowser's Minions where you play from the perspective of...Bowser's minions.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks way more anime than the first one. I don't have a problem with that, really, it's just unusual to see the art style shift so much.

Shift + Enter

I would much rather they make a whole new game. Anyone interested in Pokemon already owns a 3DS as it is, so a Switch port seems rather pointless.

I don't really see the problem with doing "Now in development" announcements if they're brief, like the Metroid and Pokemon ones were. They just said "Hey, we're working on it" and moved on. They didn't waste a bunch of time talking to developers behind the scenes who went on about how excited they are to be working on it like EA did that one year. That's something I can definitely understand not liking.

Prime 4 Pokemon on the Switch An actual Metroid on the 3DS that isn't spinoff bullshit They don't have actual footage for the first two yet but weren't people just saying that you like to know you have something to look forward to rather than having a conference with no surprises at all? The fact these games even exist is fantastic news. My E3 ranking goes like this: Nintendo Sony Devolver Ubisoft Microsoft PC show EA Bethesda Yeah, I'm putting Bethesda below EA. EA was shit, but at least they aren't deliberately making the industry worse. Bethesda's constant Skyrim shilling, paid mods, and the fact they expect people to actually pay 60 dollars all over again for Fallout 4 VR kind of make me want them to fail as a company. They haven't even started on Elder Scrolls VI, if rumor is to be believed, and I believe it. Wolfenstein II was not enough for me to forgive all the other bullshit.

That's...huh...

In some more lighthearted news...

Pack it in. Nintendo actually won E3 this year.
